Fulk II of Anjou (c. 905 — 960), called le Bon ("the Good"), was Count of Anjou from 942 to his death.[a]

Life

Fulk II, born c. 905,[1] was a son of Fulk the Red and his wife Roscilla de Loches, daughter of Warnerius, Seigneur de Villentrois.[2] He succeeded his father in 942 as the second Count of Anjou,[3] and remained in power until 960.[4]

By this time, the Angevins, Fulk II included, had become particularly adept at establishing marriage alliances that furthered their goals.[5] His father, Fulk the Red, had arranged his marriage to Gerberga, daughter[6] of Geoffrey of Nevers and Aba.[b] Among other things, this alliance enabled Fulk to open the doors towards Aquitaine for his daughter, Adelaide-Blanche, to marry a future king of France (Aba was likely[7] a daughter of William I, Duke of Aquitaine, and Engelberga, thus of royal blood) and for his son Guy to become Bishop of le Puy.[8]

After Gerberga's death c. 952, Fulk made another astute political marriage to the widow of Alan II, Duke of Brittany. Alan II had also been Count of Nantes and through this marriage Fulk gained influence in, and possibly control of, Nantes.[9] His second wife was also the sister of Theobald I, Count of Blois, which permitted Fulk II to form an alliance with the House of Blois.[8] He is said to have ordered the murder of Drogo, Duke of Brittany, Alan II's son with the latter, according to the Chronique de Nantes.

Family

By his spouse Gerberge,[10] Fulk II had several children:

Fulk II had no known issue with his second wife.

Death

Fulk died in 960.[11] He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle.[2]

Notes

  1. ^ Refer to Bernard S. Bachrach, "Fulk Nerra: Neo-Roman Consul, 987-1040" (California, 1993) 261 and 262 for a useful genealogy of the Angevin comital line.
  2. ^ The assumption of Bernard S. Bachrach, stating Gerberga was a daughter of Ratburnus I, Viscount of Vienne, is not consistent.
